The holidays are a wonderful time of year, bringing families together in the spirit of peace and love. But shopping during the holiday season? Decidedly not wonderful. Save yourself a trip to an overcrowded mall playing Mariah Carey on repeat and try making some presents this year. We’ve found several DIY gifts from a few of top bloggers that are sure to put a smile on friends’ and family members’ faces. Check ‘em out below and show loved ones how much you care.

Cute Cacti - You can use these sweet creations from A Beautiful Mess as pin cushions or just set them about your home and office to bring a bit of cheer into every space. We love how colorful and kid-friendly they are! Get the tutorial here.

Bomb Balm - Winter can be so hard on our skin. Treat a pal to some moisturizing lip balm, courtesy of The Merry Thought. They’ve got recipes for a few different flavors, including Orange Lime, Grapefruit, and Lavender Mint (yum!). Get the tutorial here.

Festive Flutes - These stylish flutes from Kristi Murphy are the perfect way to toast the season. Not only are they sure to receive a smile when unwrapped on the 25th, they also make a lovely hostess gift for holiday parties. Get the tutorial here.

Great Game - We’re huge fans of Almost Makes Perfect’s take on the classic board game Guess Who. Substitute the classic characters with friends, family members, cartoon characters or famous people. The possibilities and the fun are endless! Get the tutorial here.
